GMHT: Game Master Helper's Toolkit

This is the homepage for GMHT, the Game Master Helper's Toolkit.
This is a toolkit for people writing software to help role playing
game GMs. It will make it easy to write NPC generators, plot
generators, software to create random bars, that sort of thing.
It is written in Java, and requires Java 1.2 or 1.3.

Should you get GMHT?

GMHT is a quick and easy way to write programs to create things
for your world: it makes it easy to write programs to generate
NPCs, monsters, etc.

GMHT also makes it easy to assemble your own "GM's console"
containing the customized tables that you want to roll on while
running your games.

There is a short "ad" available, which
gives you a sort of one page overview or introduction to what GMHT can
do, and how it does it.
And also an on line tutorial, which goes
into much more detail about how to use the features of GMHT. (But note:
not all the links from this page will work! If you download GMHT, you
will get all the documentation, but not quite all is on line here.)

Downloading GMHT

Before you download GMHT, you need to join the GMHT emailing list.
This is a low volume mailing list, which lets me keep track of who
